Your caption in the comments and winner announced Friday. If you have an entry you particularly like let me know so I can pick a reader winner as well.

This totally cracked me up – I have very high hopes for some good captions!


Spotted this one at Columbia Heights Coffee. I can’t find his name in my notes. But he lived in the CH neighborhood. Def. a bit on the darker side but pretty impressive art.

One more angle after the jump. (more…)


I was blown away by how cool this wall looked with all the staples but no posters. Pretty wild, yeah?


From Kash:

“The street was blocked off so the kids had lots of room to play. The lack of traffic and parked cars really changed the character of the the street, making it feel more like an inviting part of the interior of the house. It was like we extended the boundary of our living room out into the street to overlap with the neighbors’. Everyone came out and grilled and socialized as if we all shared a common courtyard in the same building. Wish it could be like that every day!”

I think this is one of the best ways to build community. You had old, young, black, white etc. All with smiles. A beautiful sight and most definitely part of the beautiful life.


I guess I really do like this section of 10th Street, NW! I like the contrast of this corner house with the rowhomes. Almost it looks like it’s from London.


Back in Nov. ’07 we learned that the Lagos Cafe was set to come to 826 Shepherd Street, NW. Alas there was little progress. It’s possible I just never noticed this before but I just looked inside and the place is painted and built out:

So perhaps, it’s finally close to coming? Anyone know about this?

And the building at 1333 14th Street, NW has been completed. It will be the new home of a web design company, fathomcreative:

Before the building was renovated, while in a very sad state, the brick was red. Do you prefer natural red brick or the way it looks now?
